El objetivo de este estudio es conocer qué factores exógenos condicionan la eficiencia de los municipios con una marcada orientación turística. Este estudio es una de las pocas publicaciones basadas en la eficiencia de municipios turísticos. A diferencia de la mayoría de las investigaciones que evalúan la eficiencia municipal en general, se cree que este documento contribuye a la literatura relacionada ofreciendo ideas a los municipios turísticos relativamente ineficientes sobre la mejora de la eficiencia. The objective of this study is to know which exogenous factors condition the efficiency of the municipalities with tourist orientation. This study is one of the few publications based on the efficiency of tourism municipalities. Unlike most of the research that assesses municipal efficiency in general, it is believed that this document contributes to related literature by offering ideas to relatively inefficient tourism municipalities about improving efficiency.

“…For example, a study by Proeller (2006) found that in the 32 European countries surveyed the top future trends for local government would include the redistribution of responsibilities and duties across all tiers of government, provision of online services and tools, planning and operating management information systems, the decentralisation of tasks and resources, benchmarking, and measuring performance (Proeller 2006). The growing need to utilise benchmarking and PM tools in local government is considered important given the increasing pressure to justify the distribution of limited resources (Elling et al 2014;Seifert and Nieswand 2014).…”

The purpose of this paper is to firstly identify and synthesise critical measurement themes in extant academic literature concerning performance measurement in cultural precincts. Secondly, the paper posits for consideration a holistic and systematic framework (which embraces those themes) for developing appropriate performance measures for cultural precincts. The outcomes in this paper (a) confirm and clarify the complexity of performance measurement needed, (b) furnish a framework for practitioners embarking on the development of such measures, and (c) indicate the conceptual and pragmatic challenges faced in developing and enacting appropriate and meaningful measures for cultural precincts. Consequently, this paper serves as a conceptual positioning paper and a practical embarkation point for practitioners willing to engage with and pursue this phenomenon. Thereby, it endorses more dialogue on and further research and analysis of performance measurement in government operated cultural precincts.

“…The authors conducted a fiscal analysis evaluation during the interim period of a health initiative and use the findings to redefine the goals of resource allocation and modify the TOC to better achieve the desired outcomes. Seifert and Nieswand (2014) demonstrate how spending efficiency evaluation techniques can identify inefficiencies and areas of improvement in local government spending. Efficiency analysis is used as a benchmarking approach to compare the transformation of one unit of resource input into output.…”

This paper reviews evaluations of post-disaster recovery efforts. The focus is on operational material and other 'grey literature' from disasters that have occurred in Australia, New Zealand and internationally. We develop a typology that categorises disaster events and includes whether evaluations were undertaken; the methods used; and whether the evaluations focused on the processes or outcomes of the recovery program. The review finds a lack of evaluation of post-disaster recovery. Where evaluations have been conducted, they are mostly process-rather than outcomes-based. There is a need for guidance for post-disaster recovery programs to support evaluation practice to determine the effectiveness, efficiency and appropriateness of post-disaster recovery interventions. There is significant investment in post-disaster recovery programs, with little known of their effectiveness. This review identifies useful case studies and methods to evaluate post-disaster recovery efforts, and informs the development of a national post-disaster evaluation framework.
